file extension AES - AES Crypt encrypted file
File extension AES description:
AES Crypt reads and writes file in the .aes file format. The file format is easily identifiable by software. Packetizer does not claim exclusive rights to the .aes file format. It may be used in commercial and open source products without any restrictions or costs whatsoever. However, in keeping with the spirit of open source and ensuring that users are always able to read and write .aes files, we would like to request that any other developers of AES file encryption software that produces an .aes file use this file format for the benefit of interoperability.
To date, there are three versions of the .aes file format, which are numbered starting with version 0.
The current file format is version 2 and is shown below. The major enhancement to this version is the ability to have user-defined "tags" that may be inserted into the encrypted file. These tags are inserted by AES Crypt or by other software that knows how to read and write the .aes file format. These tags are not encrypted and may be altered after the .aes file is created, without modifying the contents of the encrypted parts of the file. Tags should never be considered secure information.

AES Crypt is an advanced file encryption utility that integrates with the Windows shell or runs from the Linux command prompt to provide a simple, yet powerful, tool for encrypting files using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm. There is also a Java library for software developers who wish to read and write AES-encrypted files from within Java application.
You do not need to be an expert to use AES Crypt. You do not need to understand cryptography. When using Windows, the only thing you need to do is right-click on a file, select AES Encrypt or AES Decrypt, enter a password, and AES Crypt will do the rest. On Linux, you just enter the "aescrypt" command with name of the file and password to use to encrypt or decrypt.
Using a powerful 256-bit encryption algorithm, AES Crypt is the perfect tool for securing your most sensitive documents or e-mail attachments. Once a file is encrypted, you do not have to worry about a person reading your sensitive information, as an encrypted file is completely useless without the password. It simply cannot be read.
AES Crypt is the perfect tool for anyone who carries sensitive information with them while traveling, uploads sensitive files to servers on the Internet, or wishes to protect sensitive information from being stolen from home or at the office.
Best of all, AES Crypt is completely free open source software. You are free to use this software in your business, at home, or in your own open-source development projects.
